Technical Scans for Tuesday, April 15, 2014... BriefingTrader Column: The following scans are designed to give both Day and Swing traders opportunities based upon specific technical criteria. Market conditions/breadth should be evaluated to determine which set-ups will offer the greatest probability of success. Take the time to scroll through the charts and find those candidates with recognizable and clear technical patterns. Note on days where one particular scan results in too many stocks (20+), then those names with lower volatility and volume will be filtered out.
You can view a video webinar on trading these patterns by clicking here and here for a more recent update.

BlueChip ETF Signals* |
Proprietary trend signal on SPY ** |
On a RED as of April 10, 2014 suggesting a more of a Bearish/Corrective environment.
|
*This is based upon Daily and Weekly indicators and price action of the SPY. It is not to be used as an exact "timing" system, however, it is best used to establish an intermediate-term Long/Short "bias" based upon strong or weak momentum and trends. It can be subject to "false" or short-lived signals on occasion, especially if there are "gap" days that reverse through the prior day or week's range. **Signals are color-coded accordingly: GREEN = Bullish/Upward Momentum Bias YELLOW = Neutral/Flat Momentum RED = Bearish/Downward Momentum Bias
